1. Aleurone layer takes part in-
(1) Protection of delicate embryo
(2) Enzyme synthesis
(3) Transfer of food to cotyledons
(4) Is also called scutellum
2. During germination, micropyle of seeds takes part
in-
(1) Forming weak point for emergence of radicle
(2) Entry of water and oxygen
(3) Passage of gasses
(4) Leaching inhibitors
8. False fruits (thalamus also contributes to fruit
formation) are found in-
(1) Apple and pear (2) Strawberry
(3) Cashew nut (4) All
9. Which of the following statement is correct?
(1) Parthenocarpic fruits (seedless fruits) develop
without fertilization e.g. banana.
(2) Parthenocarpy can be induced by hormones
(3) Seed is the basis of our agriculture
(4) All

10. Which of the following is crucial for storage of

3. Which are the external conditions required for seed
germination-
(1) Oxygen, carbon dioxide and suitable
temperature
(2) Oxygen, light and suitable temperature
(3) Light, moisture and suitable temperature
(4) Oxygen, moisture and suitable temperature
seeds to be used as food throughout the year and to
raise crops in the next season?
(1) Abundant water in seeds
(2) Dehydration and dormancy of matured seeds
(3) Least amount of food in seeds
(4) Presence of endospermous food in all seeds

4. Seed dormancy allows the plants to- 11. Hybrid seeds have to be produced every year
(1) Overcome unfavourable climate conditions because-
(2) Develop healthy seeds (1) Hybrid plants become sterile in coming year
(3) Reduce viability (2) They show more heterosis in coming year
(4) Prevent deterioration of seeds (3) Hybrid vigour is not maintained beyond one
5. Albuminous/endospermic seeds are- generation as segregation of genes occurs in the
(1) Coconut, castor, sunflower second generation
(2) Bean, pea (4) Hybrid seed industry tends to increase cost of
(3) Groundnut, pea the seeds
(4) None
12. Active research is going on in many laboratories
6. Which of the following will lose its economic value around the world to understand the genetics of
if fruits are produced through parthenocarpy apomixis. What is the purpose of such active
(1) Citrus (2) Banana research?
(3) Grape (4) Pomegranate (1) Hybrid plants are directly formed by apomixis
7. In most plants; the fruit develops from the ovary, (2) Apomixis is the method to produce seed
other parts degenerate and fall off such fruits are without fertilisation
called- (3) To transfer apomictic genes into hybrid
(1) False fruits varieties which will prevent loss of hybrid
(2) True fruits vigour with successive year
(3) Parthenocarpic fruit (4) Apomixis produces genetically different
(4) None of the above individuals

13. Which of the following conditions show that the 14. Occurrence of more than one embryo in a seed is
embryo of the seed is entering the state of referred to as
dormancy. (1) polyembryony
i. Dry weight of seed is increasing (2) Parthenocarpy
ii. Water content is reducing (3) Amphimixis
iii. The general metabolic activity of embryo is (4) Parthenogenesis
slowing down.
iv. Oxygen consumption of seed is increasing.
(1) i and ii (2) ii and iii
(3) i, ii and iv (4) iii and iv
